Valentin Șchiopu

During his 12 years as a sports reporter, not a day went by when he wasn’t advised to spend time on “something serious”. The fairy godmothers had him ear-marked for a soccer career, but, in keeping with his physical constitution, he studied chess and philosophy. At 17 he won a contest at a local television station for offering the most profound definition of life. He received a gym membership in exchange, which he never used. He’s a long-time fan of the bands Timpuri Noi, Pulp, and Barcelona.

PressOne is an independent publication that aims to extract relevant topics derived from the reality of Romanian citizens that do not exist on the public agenda. Moreover, we aim to provide depth and context to present situations, often through the introduction of people whose life stories inspire us.
